Update being pushed - Motorola Droid 3

My d3 keeps asking me to update. I'm rooted and some stuff frozen. What are the odds it will update if I unfreeze everything? More importantly, what are the odds it breaks root?

From what i've read; unfreeze, update. It will break root but you can re-root np

Thanks a bunch, Im at Disney, so Ill test later

Can I still root if I update?

Or do I have to root and acquire an update another way?

Yes you can root after the OTA update. I rooted mine after doing the update with the Root Kit (see Dev section).
OK thank you!

FYI, Nexus devices are never locked down. You are always free to unlock the bootloader, root it, and do whatever you like. You can take any and all updates without fear of losing anything.

Litlle help guys

My friend rooted his Note a while back then has accepted the OTA. The OTA has failed obviously but Root no longer there. Should I just re-root for him to get root again or is there anything else I shoukd do?

Better flash new ROM (same you got with OTA) and then Root it, just to avoid dead lock.
Cool cheers man

You must be rooted to be able to Safestrap. I haven't gone through the Razr JB upgrade threads but I hope Rootkeeper works becuse I would not want to wait for a root method to be discovered.

To be on the safe side I would root then use OTA Rootkeeper, you may have to wait a while to get root and it will drive you crazy.
Did that on my tablet updating from ics to jb and install kept failing. Ill safely update then work on root myself. Rest assured all goes well and someone doesnt beat me too it i will be posting.

When using vodoo... does one have to simply click protect root and then update or is there more to it...
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app
To successfully maintain root and install the OTA do the following
Root Phone
Install VooDoo OTA RootKeeper
Update SuperUser binaries (from within the SU app
Open VooDoo and "Protect Root"
Then tap on "Temp Unroot"
Install OTA
Install VooDoo
Restore root
So... I forgot to do all this... I hope there is a root for jb coming soon still have su just no root...

Pretty much gotta wait now until root is made for zv9 now
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Free mobile app
Yep. Hopefully development on this phone isn't completely dead....especially with the LS996 coming out very shortly.
I really could use the PRL update along with the wifi calling update which I use frequently since the AirRave they sent isn't compatible with this phone (that's what sprint told me).

Ohkay so im completly new at this but I used stump roots brute force method on my LG-LS995, and it worked twice. Little did i know I had been upgraded to lolipop, so when I tried a wifi hot spot hack (messing up the actual process the first time) I ended up in boot loop. Im currently working on fixing my phone. I was dumb but I'm learning. Anyway, you can brute force v9 with stump root.

I thought v9 was lollipop, but I could be mistaken, like I said, I'm new at this. I just checked for a software update before rooting my phone.
